Z is for Zanzibar: Pongwe

It seems everyone who has been to Zanzibar has their own secret place, and this is ours - Pongwe! The moment you walk through reception and into the beach side resort problems like traffic ''snarl ups' and criminally priced cheese melt into the background and make way for white sands and the warm Indian ocean.

We spent three nights and four days lazing around Pongwe. The quality of the food was simply outstanding and if it wasn't freshly caught seafood then it was South African beef or something just as ridiculously good.

If you're looking for full moon parties and hooking up with an Amarula induced Italian backpacker there are other places for that. Pongwe is all about good food and um... doing very little at all.
